Samantha needs your vote!!!

[Samantha Puppy]

This is the week that Sam is enrolled in the "Big Dog of the Week" contest at Practical Pet Care. She has brought me so much joy over the last 17 months and I wanted to reward her for all that she's given me. She and I would love it if you could find it in your hearts to vote for her and help another Pet Talk Pup to victory!!!

Thanks...
Jaime and Samantha

Don't be mad ok. I didn't vote. It's just that, all of those faces were so precious. I couldn't pick just one. I am sorry everybody. But, I don't vote a whole bunch because, afterwards I feel so bad when all of those cutie little faces got left out all because of my vote. PLEASE don't be mad. I hate being unliked at PT. I just couldn't vote. I wish you and Sam luck though.

Nobody will be mad petlover, I had a heck of a time too, they're all so cute!!

[Samantha Puppy]

Well, vote for whomever you'd like but when a fellow Pet Talker asks me to throw a vote for their friend, I do. :shrug: I think it's great to see a Pet Talk Pup win and take pride in it, even when it isn't my pet.

Anyway, please check this link out: http://www.practical-pet-care.com/ne...03111915265056 Oakley's owner is launching a full-out war for the contest, getting all the people at their forum to vote for Oakley. Samantha's lead has decreased since yesterday and Oakley's has gone up.

I would like to remind you all again of Samantha's story. She and her sister were found abandoned along the side of a busy highway by my neighbor. She brought them home and the moment I laid eyes on Samantha, there was just something there. I was not in the market for a puppy at all, but I knew this dog had to be mine. Being as I still lived with my parents, I went through several days of fights worthy of World War III recognition with them, but finally won out. Samantha came to live with me the very next day and has since become a huge part of my life, as well as the best friend I could have. She makes me smile when I am sad, she licks away my tears when I cry. She makes me get up 15 minutes early just so that we can cuddle before I leave for work. THAT is why I'm asking for your vote to make her Big Dog of the Week. She deserves it. I'm not saying those other dogs aren't special, but they aren't special to me. Samantha is. Samantha deserves the recognition. This isn't directed to any one person in general; rather, it's just a plea to all of those who might have not yet cast their vote. I have faithfully voted for every Pet Talk pup in every contest that anyone posts about. Please do the same for Samantha.
